Foods of plant origin - Multiresidue methods for the gas chromatographic determination of pesticide residues - Part 1: General considerations
This European Standard gives general considerations for the determination of pesticide residues in foods of plant origin.
Each method specified in this European Standard is suitable for identifying and quantifying a definite range of those organohalogen, and/or organophosphorus and/or organonitrogen pesticides which occur as residues in foodstuffs of plant origin.
This European Standard contains the following methods that have been subjected to interlaboratory studies and/or are adopted throughout Europe:
- method L: Extraction with acetone, liquid liquid partition with dichloromethane and clean-up on a silica-gel/charcoal column [1];
- method M: Extraction with acetone and liquid liquid partition with dichloromethane/light petroleum, if necessary clean-up on Florisil® 1) [2], [3], [4];
- method N: Extraction with acetone, liquid liquid partition with dichloromethane or cyclohexane/ethyl acetate and clean-up with gel permeation and silica gel chromatography [5], [6];
- method P: Extraction with ethyl acetate and, if necessary, clean-up with gel permeation chromatography [7].
The applicability of the four methods L to P for residue analysis of organohalogen, organophosphorus and organonitrogen pesticides, respectively, is given for each method.

Diese Europäische Norm gibt allgemeine Hinweise zur Bestimmung von Pestizidrückständen in pflanzlichen Lebensmitteln.
Jedes in dieser Europäischen Norm festgelegte Verfahren ist zur Identifizierung und Quantifizierung einer jeweils definierten Anzahl an Organohalogen- und/oder Organophosphor- und/oder Organostickstoff-Pesti-ziden geeignet, die als Rückstände in pflanzlichen Lebensmitteln vorkommen.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält die folgenden Verfahren, die in Ringversuchen erfolgreich geprüft worden und/oder in ganz Europa anerkannt sind:
- Verfahren L: Extraktion mit Aceton, Flüssig/flüssig-Verteilung mit Dichlormethan und Reinigung an einer Kieselgel/Aktivkohle-Säule [1];
- Verfahren M: Extraktion mit Aceton und Flüssig/flüssig-Verteilung mit Dichlormethan/Petroleumbenzin, falls erforderlich Reinigung mit Florisil [2], [3], [4];

- Verfahren P: Extraktion mit Ethylacetat und, falls erforderlich, Reinigung durch Gelpermeations-Chroma-tographie [7].
Die Anwendbarkeit der vier Verfahren L bis P zur Rückstandsanalyse von Organohalogen-, Organophosphor- und Organostickstoff-Pestiziden ist für jedes Verfahren angegeben.
Aliments d'origine végétale - Méthodes multirésidus de détermination par chromatographie en phase gazeuse de pesticides - Partie 1 : Généralités
La présente Norme européenne donne des considérations générales concernant la détermination des résidus de pesticides dans les aliments non gras.
Chaque méthode spécifiée dans la présente Norme européenne est adaptée à l’identification et à la quantification d’une gamme bien définie de ces pesticides organohalogénés et/ou organophosphorés et/ou organoazotés, qui sont présents à l’état de résidus dans les produits alimentaires d’origine végétale.
La présente Norme européenne contient les méthodes suivantes qui ont été soumises à des études interlaboratoires et/ou qui sont adoptées dans toute l'Europe :
- méthode L : Extraction par acétone, partage liquide-liquide par dichlorométhane et purification sur colonne de silicagel/charbon actif [1] ;
- méthode M : Extraction par acetone, partage liquide-liquide par dichloromethane/ether de pétrole et purification sur colonne de Florisil® fn [2], [3], [4] ;
- méthode N :Extraction par acétone, partage liquide-liquide par dichloromethane ou cyclohexane/acetate d’éthyle et purification par chromatographie par permeation sur gel et au [5], [6] ;
- méthode P : Extraction avec acétate d'éthyle et, si nécessaire, purification par chromatographie par perméation de gel [7].
L'applicabilité des quatre méthodes L à P pour l'analyse des résidus de pesticides organohalogénés, organophos- phorés et organoazotés, respectivement, est précisée pour chaque méthode.

SAFETY MEASURES: Peroxides form in diethyl ether, dioxane, and other ethers during storage. They are explosive and have to be destroyed before distillation or evaporation. Exposure to light increases peroxide formation in ethers. Filtration through activated aluminium oxide is reported to be effective in removing peroxides. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Glassware: General Thoroughly clean glassware shall be used for residue analysis. There is a risk of carry-over of pesticides through use of glassware and other laboratory equipment. This should be taken into account, particularly when employing laboratory washing machines. Hot detergent solution (with no interfering compounds) may be used for cleaning, but afterwards the glassware shall be well rinsed with distilled water and acetone before drying. Before being washed in a washing machine, the glassware shall be rinsed with acetone, then with water. Wash it in the machine with non-chlorinated detergent, rinse with water and dry. In both cases, verify that the detergent does not leave any interfering impurity. It is also advisable to rinse glassware again with the solvent to be used immediately before use. Common laboratory glassware or equipment such as beakers, round-bottomed flasks, watch glasses, pipettes, filter papers, glass wool, glass rods and glass beads, etc. are not listed in the apparatus clause of each method in detail.
